Turn a week of saved links into a newsletter draft in your voice
Overview
An Agents Handbook prompt that turns a week of saved links into a draft newsletter issue. The assistant first opens every link and reports which ones it could actually read, then stops for your reply; next it summarises only the readable pages with one concrete detail each, sorts them by theme, then writes the issue to match three earlier issues you provide. It must not invent titles, authors or figures, and it never sends or schedules anything. Check each summary against its link before you send the issue yourself.

Draft this week's issue of my newsletter, [newsletter name], for [audience]. Links I saved this week: [paste links, or point to the file, bookmark folder or read-later list]. Three past issues, so you can match my voice: [paste or link]. Format: [intro of 2-4 sentences], then [3-5] themed sections, then [a short "also worth a look" list]. Step 1. Open every link. For each one, record: title, author, publish date, and whether you could read the full text (yes, partly, no). If a page is paywalled, blocked, or you only saw the URL, mark it "no". Do not summarise any page marked "no". STOP and show me this list before you write. Step 2. After I reply, for each readable link write a summary of 2-3 sentences with one concrete detail from the page. Keep numbers exactly as the page states them. If you quote, copy the words exactly and keep the quote under 20 words. Step 3. Group the items into themes. Drop items that do not fit the audience and tell me which ones you dropped and why. Step 4. Write the issue in my voice. Use short sentences. Do not add opinions I have not given you. Mark any place you want my own take with [MY TAKE: add your view here]. Rules: - Every item links to its source. - Never invent a title, author, book or statistic. If you are unsure, leave it out and tell me. - Do not send, schedule or publish anything.
